14 | * QObject Reference Counts Terminology | |
15 | * ------------------------------------ | |
16 | * | |
17 | * - Returning references: A function that returns an object may | |
18 | * return it as either a weak or a strong reference. If the reference | |
19 | * is strong, you are responsible for calling QDECREF() on the reference | |
20 | * when you are done. | |
21 | * | |
22 | * If the reference is weak, the owner of the reference may free it at | |
23 | * any time in the future. Before storing the reference anywhere, you | |
24 | * should call QINCREF() to make the reference strong. | |
25 | * | |
26 | * - Transferring ownership: when you transfer ownership of a reference | |
27 | * by calling a function, you are no longer responsible for calling | |
28 | * QDECREF() when the reference is no longer needed. In other words, | |
29 | * when the function returns you must behave as if the reference to the | |
30 | * passed object was weak. | |
